    Learning piano

    I remember this... General rule: Major chord is Base note, +4 half-steps for second note, and +3 half-steps for third note. Any further notes starts one octave higher from base note and repeat the count of half-steps (for example, guitar chords are often played with all six strings this way)...

    Public Announcement about what autism is and is not

    One bartender said it pretty well: "It’s odd how some completely peaceful people still end up with others picking fights with them." ... I saw two inflammable problems here, which made me at first to avoid this conversation because I really, really hate getting involved with trolling behavior...

    Strange and weird films from long ago

    The 5000 Finger of Dr. T and The Twonky are both available in YouTube without signing in. To me strange and weird means a little bit more overall surreal than most of mentioned flicks (2001 turns weird only during last few minutes, for example). Too bad that my expertise is focused on movies...

    Gabapentin and Autism

    I have been taking Pramipexole (dopamine agonist) for my Restless Legs Syndrome for several years... I don't know how long exactly, over two decades? Of course, I develop resistance to it over the time. So now it was again a time to increase a dosage, but some enthusiastic new doctor began to...

    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    Also... If you ask AI about subjects that already have a lot of information around, you can get a relatively good summary of that data. But it is still unreliable. Always double-check the information, use AI only to give pointers about what keywords you should be searching from other sources...

    When do parents stop acting like parents?

    I am still a little boy to my mother. It has became a trigger to me. Every time she explains me how to do the most simplest things, or checks if I know what I am doing, or if I remember instructions, or she questions my knowledge about things, I get my blood pressure sky high and I just need to...

    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    Dammit... Not two years, few years. About two years ago I joined the forums. I really hate making small mistakes like that: I was going to take a walk and do some grocery shopping, but had to return home just to write this correction 😁

    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    @the_tortoise No offense taken. Or seen, as to me it was a justified note of oversight. Thought I did notice a frustration of not mentioning of such obvious thing, but I don't experience such outbursts as offensive, just a form of communication like emphasizing an important point (thought when I...

    What's wrong with saying "mild" or "severe" autism?

    Actually, I did know that. Probably because I began to gather information about autism just about two years ago, so details are still fresh in my mind... But it is easy to claim it now, as I haven't proven having this information before this 🙄 About the original post: I think terms "mild" and...

    What was the last movie you watched?

    In short time between each other, I watched two similar movies Jojo Rabbit and The Zone of Interest. Similar in meaning that both are very creepy way of indirectly describing horrors of Nazi-time. Indirectly meaning that both could be seen as lighthearted movies if you don't know what really...

    What do you think of fan fiction?

    Used to write fictional stories myself, often copying other people's worlds with heavy modifications, but never wrote an actual fanfiction. It didn't (and still don't) feel proper to take other people's work and make it my own even if only partly. But I do appreciate fanfiction of others, and I...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    When I have been reading stories like this from here, I have began to think that I have had an easy life: I have either not even noticed when I have been treated negatively, or I have been able to ignore it (both cases according my childhood friends). Those situations, that have left me bullied...

    Do you believe in IQ?

    Yes, that could happen. According to my childhood friends and my family (I don't myself remember much about childhood) I have became more responsive to certain situations (I have learned to get offended by some remarks, getting pleased when hearing praising is still under work), and less...
